Chapter 56 - Our Goal Is to Kill Duval, Not the Celestials' Sea of Stars

"Our goal is to kill Duval, not the Celestials' sea of stars." Mister Blue was curious about everything related to Duval, but this time, he really couldn't understand it.

"Why did the Xenomorphs bring back a vagrant, and even forbid me from getting close?" Mister Blue stopped his experiment, swaying his huge head, staring straight at Reynolds, who was surrounded by a large group of Xenomorphs.

Seemingly normal, but that was the biggest abnormality.

However, even with his intelligence increased five hundredfold, he couldn't figure out the logic behind it. Duval's actions always exceeded his expectations, causing many of his deductions to fail.

"A human, you're actually a human? No, your head—" Reynolds' face was pale. Long-term addiction had severely depleted his body, making him thin. His eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and he shrank helplessly into the corner.

What he didn't know was that on the other side of the wall, there were already more Xenomorphs, and they would never leave any defensive loopholes.

"Looks like he's not a high-IQ guy, and he doesn't have any special powers either." Mister Blue saw Reynolds' physical condition at a glance, a deep contempt flashing in his eyes. He couldn't understand why Duval would find such a waste.

But he stopped thinking about what he couldn't understand. Mister Blue figured that he had provided Duval with two hundred more biochemical monsters, and all the materials he could use, including those Duval had left him, had been completely exhausted.

"You better think carefully before you act, don't think I don't know what you want to do." Elektra appeared not far from Mister Blue, looking at him coldly.

Mister Blue let out a strange laugh, which at first sounded like an old crow hovering on a dry tree: "I'm afraid that among us, only you have true loyalty to him. Others, whether it's Mystique or me, have had ulterior motives from the beginning to the end."

"He never cares about your thoughts, only whether you have completed the tasks he assigned. However, from now on, it won't be just me, there will be another him." Elektra stared coldly at the incredibly smart big head in front of her, pointing to Reynolds, who was on the verge of mental breakdown.

Mister Blue scoffed.

"Him? This kind of idiot who is addicted to inferior substances, timid and cowardly, so scared by the beautiful Xenomorphs that he's about to wet his pants, has absolutely no potential. I think it's superfluous to use him as a host! Because the Xenomorph that Chestbursters out will most likely be an incompetent fool!"

But Elektra didn't think so.

She was filled with inexplicable confidence in Duval. The larva in her chest was constantly merging with her internal organs, producing the same rhythm. She felt that Duval had specifically brought this person back to carry out parasitism, and then the truth would be revealed.

...

Countless eyes were watching Duval.

"It's this person..."

"The youngest T0 Threat? The guy who's doing global bundling."

"He's also a war maniac, constantly transporting Xenomorphs to advanced battlefields. The Rainbow Bridge that appears from time to time is proof, but we have no way to stop him."

Many people whispered, looking at Duval with great fear.

They had originally been constantly looking at Professor X, as if doing so would confirm whether Professor X was monitoring and manipulating their minds, but when Duval appeared, they quickly shifted their attention.

After all, Professor X had been famous for a long time, and even if his ideas changed and he joined forces with Magneto, it was still within the realm of understanding.

But Duval alone became the first alien on Earth to organize an expeditionary force to participate in cross-border warfare.

Throughout human history, Duval's behavior was explosive, and he happened to have the ability to mass-produce powerful armies and deploy them to the battlefield.

"My academic lecture is titled 'The World Tree and Midgard'. I think this is something that many of you are interested in. I will tell you the history of the Asgardian gods, and I will also clearly tell you that this war will never stop, but will continue to expand and advance endlessly. I am urgently in need of more and more warriors. If anyone wants to join my team, they can come to my house and have a look."

Duval placed Mjolnir on the podium. This lightness was more like a straightforward reminder, and the meaning expressed in the language was even a rude warning, causing many people's eyelids to twitch wildly.

Warlike guys like Magneto had expressions of appreciation on their faces.

But these words made the Vampires' eyes go dark.

Duval sent troops to fight, sucking the blood of the Vampires and taking the Vampires' military expenses!! "I protest, this is an atrocity that will go down in history, this is a crime...!" The Vampire representative couldn't help but jump up, "And it's my turn to speak!"

But no one listened to him, and what was even more predictable was that as soon as this guy left the door of this building, he would be caught by a Xenomorph that happened to pass by, and then appear in another form on the battlefield of an unknown planet, fighting with the Frost Giants.

This was the fate of the Vampires in the current version. Everyone had quickly adapted to this new set of social operating rules, except for the Vampires.

"Damn it, not only is he not stopping, but he's going to intensify it!! This is completely not letting our Vampire clan live!"

"There's no way, I originally hoped that the Blood Baron could stand up, but this guy is a coward, hiding all day long, chased by Blade until he's running for his life."

"It would be great if Dracula was still here, but we don't know where he's sleeping."

The Vampires were very bēngkuì (broken down), this life was simply unbearable. All their achievements, wealth, and power that had continued to this day seemed to have become unsuitable for survival overnight.

At first, only Blade was obsessed with dealing with them, then Duval came, and then S.H.I.E.L.D. also came, although it stopped quickly, but it was foreseeable that as long as there were still organizations that were interested in the Xenomorphs, trying to capture or clone them, and then control them, the Vampires would only be unlucky forever.

Duval's voice echoed throughout the venue: "The World Tree has nine worlds, and Earth is one of the three realms in Midgard..."

"The evil Frost Giants launched a war of aggression, and the Asgardian warriors who maintained the peace of the Nine Realms rose up to resist, practicing the concept of courage with blood..."

Duval's words sounded very infectious, but those who knew the inside story found it really hard to hold back.

"If I didn't know a bit of history and that Asgard had been stirring up wars and conflicts for a long time, I would have thought this guy was talking about a pacifist Asgard that deserved the World Tree Peace Prize."

Nick Fury watched Duval's performance remotely, his cold face twitching occasionally.

The more righteously Duval spoke, the more absurd Fury found it. How could such a fierce, troublesome guy who had silently completed the Xenomorph binding strategy for global deterrence stand on the stage of a global summit and talk about maintaining peace and justice?!

Look, Fury himself didn't even dare to appear at the meeting, having done too many shady things, always worried about being taken down by similar means.

"I and my race—the Xenomorphs—cannot sit idly by and watch this happen. I am the current Thunder God, but more importantly, an Earthling who loves peace! To maintain the peace of the Nine Realms and protect the peace and stability of Earth, I have made significant risks and sacrifices, and devoted everything to participate in this war."

Duval spoke passionately to the countless cameras, waving his arms dramatically.

"..."

"I can't listen to this anymore."

Magneto took a deep breath.

Professor X's expression remained unchanged: "Erik, you should be more patient."

"You know me, I would never be like him—"

For a moment, Magneto couldn't find the precise words to describe the guy giving the impassioned speech on stage.

Professor X calmly said, "Why not think about it from a different perspective? He is sending troops to Asgard while clinging to the Thunder God's Hammer, and Asgard has not made a specific response to this day. However, the Rainbow Bridge, which constantly appears and transports Xenomorphs from Earth, already shows their attitude."

Asgard hoped to obtain Duval's power. In other words, the Xenomorph army, and the even larger number of Xenomorphs in the future, were very important to Asgard.

They even remained silent about the fact that the Thunder God's Hammer was occupied by an outsider.

"Let's go, there's no point in staying here any longer. Asgard is too far away from us. Solving the survival problem of Mutants is the most important thing." Magneto turned around.

Professor X also turned his wheelchair, a firm look in his eyes. For him, everything he was doing now was already quite radical, but he had no choice.

"We need to find Destiny first, let her make a prediction about our actions, and find a reliable base and strong helpers." Professor X glanced at Magneto, "Maybe, I mean maybe, when the situation is difficult, we can join forces with the Deviants."

Magneto said coldly, "You're daydreaming, Charles. According to the information provided by Duval, these Deviants are failed experiments of the Celestials! I can take your advice and not kill that Deviants Leader, but that doesn't mean I will really treat these beasts as our kin! Even if they also have gene fragments similar to the X-Gene in their bodies!"

"Believe me, I am in more pain than you, because Juggernaut is my brother, but for the future of Mutants, we must endure. Anyone can make mistakes, but the two of us cannot."

Professor X closed his eyes in pain.

People around them occasionally cast curious glances, wanting to figure out what secrets they were whispering, but Jean had already created a barrier, cutting off all prying eyes and monitoring devices.

On the stage, Duval looked at the backs of these Mutants and shook his head secretly.

With Destiny, it meant that the bipolar who could see the future in advance would inevitably move towards unification and run to Krakoa to establish an ideal country.

However, this could only bring temporary peace at best, and the result was still not very pleasant. The Mutant group, in most universes, struggled in pain and ultimately ended in tragedy.

Duval's report quickly came to an end.

This made the tormented listeners under the stage feel relieved. They took out various carefully prepared questions, intending to ask Duval carefully.

A simple question actually contained many traps, allowing them to find answers and clues to more questions from Duval's answers.

But Duval didn't buy it at all.

He pushed through the crowd, made a gesture of reassurance, and flew away by spinning the Thunder God's Hammer.

The Sentinel matter was more important.

"Too rude, Magneto is easier to deal with than him!"

"Do you want to hear what you're saying? Are you also a Mutant? Duval, like Magneto, is not easy to get along with. If I really had to choose one, I'd choose Duval."

"You can try accepting his invitation and go see his side, so you can die with more dignity on the alien battlefield, Earth hero."

The venue was extremely noisy, and now it was the turn of the leaders of various forces to have a headache.

"He has made his attitude clear, the war will definitely not stop."

Fury turned off the screen. He had opposed sending Duval to the joint summit from the beginning, but with the strong support of Magneto and Professor X, the result was that Duval was like poison, and Professor X had also become an unstable factor.

"Hill, go find a way to find out what deal Stryker and Duval have reached." Fury said.

Fury was not the only one discussing Duval.

In a certain school in England.

"You've all seen it, right? This is Duval, the one who killed Makkari and tore apart the Eternals. Now even Asgard is taking him very seriously."

Ajak pointed at the television screen.

The Eternals present fell silent, frowning as they watched Duval speaking eloquently on the screen, even though it was just footage carefully edited by officials to prevent the public from guessing what he was really talking about.

"Asgard choosing a human like that... it seems Odin is truly dead."

"Thor is just a spoiled child, using Mjolnir to trade for an endless supply of troops. I wonder what Odin's expression would be if he were still alive."

The Eternals present looked at Duval with deep hatred in their eyes. In their limited memories, they had spent thousands of years together, fighting side by side, sharing joy and sorrow. But now, a valued comrade had died.

"He will definitely not stop. A dangerous person like that will find ways to expand the war. The battlefield is where he constantly obtains high-quality hosts," Ajak, as the leader of the Eternals, defined Duval.

If Duval were here, he would definitely applaud her insightful remarks.

The Eternals present responded by clenching their fists.

"We can recall Ikaris. He is very powerful."

"Silence! He betrayed us first, concealing the news that a large number of Deviants were still alive. This is a serious violation of our—" Gilgamesh was interrupted before he could finish.

Sersi, Ikaris's lover and a teacher at the school, couldn't help but interrupt, "But Duval is human. Humans harming us, isn't that a kind of betrayal to us?"

Ajak opened her mouth, but remained silent. She really didn't know how to tell her fellow Eternals that their act of protecting humanity was ultimately to ensure that humans died with a bit of value—dying as nutrients for the birth of a new Celestial.

In a way, Duval's attacks and targeting of them were a savior-like act. This fully demonstrated how quickly the world was changing, with the identities of murderer and savior overlapping.

"We must make a decision. We must kill Duval, or we will face hell. Even the future of humanity will be bleak. He will drag the entire Earth into the abyss of war, which will lead to the deaths of many people!" Ajak said in a deep voice.

If more people die, the Celestial in the Earth's core will absorb less human consciousness energy, and its birth will be delayed.

Ajak didn't want the Celestial in the Earth's core to be born too early, but that didn't mean she would be indifferent to Duval's killing of Makkari.

"Kill Duval, at all costs! This is for ourselves, and for all of humanity. If possible, I will report this matter to Arishem. Arishem will definitely support us and make the fairest judgment on Duval and even this planet."
